Films that make you go meh.

Gone With The wind.

Great film that.

I saw Mulholland Drive once, didn't understand it at all.

Great isn't it, we spent more time talking about it afterwards than we did watching it, gotta be a good thing!

And it was after the aforementioned ex want to see that film and he loved it that we drifted apart, LOL

That's three films of which the second and third are not well regarded (and both distinctly meh).

I loved the first one

The original was the first film I got on DVD and I thought it was a bit odd, but I managed to watch it. The other two have defeated me every time I tried to sit through them!

I had very little idea what was going on. I thought it was fabulous.

Inception, read lots of great reviews and thought it was utter garbage. Switched it off half way through.

Great film as is Lost Highway. Not that I understand them, The Straight Story is also a great Lynch film and is more or less totally normal.

"Drive".
"Drivel" more like.

Avatar. How it has an 8.0 rating on IMDB is a mystery to me.

Eternal Sunshine Of A Spotless Mind

It was quite unpleasant too.

A couple more:

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - not nearly as good as the TV series.
Let the Right One In - not bad, just not as good as it was cracked up to be, and a bit skanky.

Even at my most pretentious and despite my best efforts I could never really get any of those Peter Greenaway films like The Draftsman's Contract and The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover - all those violins sawing away while incomprehensible stuff was going on in glorious technicolour.

 

[yello]

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

For me, an excellent film. And certainly ought have had, imho, the best actor award at the Oscars - a very measured and nuanced performance. Acting doesn't get much better. But good call, exactly the sort of thing I mean.

Equally, 'The English Patient'. Again, I liked it but if it left someone thinking 'did I miss something?' then it's a nominee!

Me & Mrs SB got invited to be a test audience for a Richard Gere & Sharon Stone film called Intersection, it was truly awful, slow plodding non plot, boring and predictable, the survey people were quite taken aback at how much we panned it. The other 48 people that have been brought along were gushing over it, how wonderful and moving it was, they seemed to think because they'd got a freebie they had to be nice about it.

I remember it pretty much bombed when it came out and I've never seen it advertised as being on TV.
